Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGC) is procuring services for hiring a Retainer Chemist Shop specifically for its executives and employees in the Tando Allahyar Hyderabad region. This procurement is focused on providing medicines at a discount on all patient medicines registered in the Red Book latest edition. The scope includes supplying medicines prescribed by Retainer Doctors on manually generated prescriptions, maintaining cold chain segments for temperature control, cleanliness of the chemist shop, electrical equipment maintenance, and providing space with furniture and fixtures for the chemist shop. The contract responsibilities include uninterrupted supply of medicines, issuance as per prescription, and strict prohibition on expired or non-recommended medicines. The contract period is initially one year with possible renewal for two more years based on satisfactory performance. The contractor must maintain valid drug licenses, supply medicines in smallest market packing, and not employ SSGC employees in the chemist shop. The contract also requires submission of monthly bills and maintaining ample stock of medicines. Eligibility requires suppliers to be active in the FBR Active Taxpayer List (ATL) and comply with all tender terms including submission of a fixed bid bond of Rs. 10,000 and a performance bond of Rs. 25,000. Bids must be submitted online via EPADS portal by 29-April-2026 at 15:30 hours, with public opening at 16:00 hours the same day. The tender follows a single stage two envelope bidding procedure with separate technical and financial proposals. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure timely submission of the physical bid bond to the Tender Room at SSGC Head Office before the bid submission deadline and upload the scanned copy on EPADS, as failure to do so will result in rejection. Also, bidders should carefully follow the detailed checklist and ensure all documents are signed, stamped, and submitted as per instructions to avoid disqualification.
